Dryer Blew Up

Well, on Sunday night I had 4 loads of clothes to do. Guess I was lazy this week! Anyway, washed the first load and put it in the dryer and started washing the second load. When the second load was done I went out and found out the dryer quit and up and died on me!! It had been squeaking pretty bad for a few months now. LOL!! I guess I should have had it looked at a long time ago. I ended up doing the 4 loads up and then going into town at 8pm on Sunday night to get them all dried. I hate going to the laundry mat!! Man, it was really busy too, so I guess that is a hoping time to do all your clothes.

I called to have someone come out on Monday and since everyone in town was out of power he came right over. I guess the ball bearing had been cutting into the metal and finally broke off which made the drum come down and when it did it took out the heating element. All in all it was $272 but now my dryer works and it's so quite!! LOL!!! It's not like I can run out and get a new dryer. Being in a mobile home we have to have a stackable so it was worth the money to just have it fixed.

Here is my dryer tore apart.

Here is the drum pulled out on the floor.

I would have gotten a picture of him leaning inside the drum but that felt a littler weird LOL!

Do you see all the bowls on the floor? We had a slow leak in our ceiling of the mudroom for years, since we built it. Chuck has re-roofed it and tried to fix it many times but alas, we never could stop the leak and on Saturday part of the ceiling caved in.

When it rains, it pours, as they say! LOL!
